AI Is Ready. We Aren’t: The Race to Build the Guardrails with Tiffany Wang

AI is getting more capable by the day. Our ability to know when to trust it isn’t keeping up.

In this episode, Tiffany Xingyu Wang, author of the forthcoming The Trust Code and a longtime leader in digital trust and online safety, joins Philip Meissner to explore one of the defining challenges of the AI era: not whether we should trust AI, but what we should trust it with.

Tiffany shares why:

Our instincts can mislead us. Generative AI sounds confident, helpful, and remarkably human, making the signals we normally use to judge trust less reliable.
Both too much and too little trust are dangerous. Overtrust creates risk, while undertrust can stall innovation. The answer is learning to calibrate trust.
AI capability is outpacing its guardrails. Organizations are adopting AI faster than they are building the accountability and safeguards needed to use it responsibly.
Human judgment must remain in the loop. As AI takes on more tasks and decisions, critical thinking and human agency become more important, not less.

Tune in for a timely conversation about AI, trust, guardrails, and how to stay in control as intelligent systems become part of everyday life.
